This post is a re-do of "the one that got away". On Tuesday night, I had loaded all of the photos, started on the text and evidently hit something on my keyboard that blew the whole thing away! My husband thinks maybe I got kicked off the Hilton network for some reason or another, but LOST is LOST! So here we go, second time around:
Alex teaching her isoceles triangle (tree) technique to the second group of retreaters.

When we get to the Hilton, we both set up our stores. Alex brings out books, patterns and fabric; I have my DVDs.
Of course, you don't have to be at the retreat to buy our "stuff": You can go to Alex's website or mine to find all of these great quilt-y things! Alex and Ricky Tims also just came out with a brand new magazine called "Quilt Life". The first issue should hit the charter subscriber's mailboxes (that would be me!) in February...
Wandering around the room and doing a progress check, I see that Holly has finished the pieced part of her tree quilt and is auditioning border fabrics. Holly started this in Session 1; she is our "class photographer" and takes the group pictures that are framed and given to each person at our closing dinner. So she sews through both sessions.
There are two ladies who sit together, both named Marilyn; I think they were on the same color wavelength this time...
Blocks and blocks of Christmas colored log cabins going up on the design wall...
And a sampler quilt -- some of the blocks have very well-done hand embroidery....
These were fun fabric choices for the trees....
And a nine-patch in the back corner of the room. She's making it to fit a king; that's a lot of blocks!

And Marie had to pose with all of the blocks she had made so far! She was having machine "issues" and was not happy at this point in the session....
Be back with another progress report soon!
